Who are we

---

Step into the world of Aragon Stables, a premier horse riding yard nestled in the serene countryside of the Cradle of Humankind. Our passion for horses and commitment to creating a safe, enjoyable, and holistic environment for riders and equine companions set us apart. 

At Aragon Stables, we adhere to the guidelines set by the South African National Equestrian Federation (SANEF), ensuring the well-being, happiness, and growth of both our riders and our beloved horses. 

 Our Values:

1. Safety: Ensuring the safety of both riders and horses is of utmost importance at our yard. This includes maintaining well-maintained riding equipment, properly trained instructors, safe riding arenas, and following strict safety protocols to minimize the risk of accidents or injuries during horse riding activities.
2. Compassion and Care: We prioritize the well-being and welfare of its equine residents. This involves providing proper nutrition, regular exercise, and attentive care to the horses. Additionally, creating a nurturing and compassionate environment fosters a positive relationship between riders and horses.
3. Education and Skill Development: We offer comprehensive riding instruction and skill development programs for riders of all levels. Qualified instructors play a vital role in imparting equestrian knowledge, proper riding techniques, and horsemanship skills, ultimately promoting the growth and progress of riders.
4. Respect for Nature and Environment: As horse riding often takes place outdoors, promoting environmental awareness and conservation are crucial values. Horse riding yards can adopt sustainable practices, such as proper waste management, protecting natural habitats, and minimizing their carbon footprint, to contribute to a healthier environment.
5. Inclusivity and Community: A welcoming and inclusive atmosphere is essential for us at Aragon. Fostering a sense of community among riders, trainers, grooms, and staff creates a supportive environment where everyone can share their passion for horses and horse riding. Encouraging diversity and providing opportunities for riders from various backgrounds further strengthens the sense of community.
